Doppelkupplung Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Forgive the bluntness of the question, but is New Flyer considering a new model release in the near future? The XD has been with us for 10 years now. Are they planning a cycle similar to the D series? Meaning adding an R variant for 5-6 more years and then a new release? Credit to New Flyer, both the "Restyled" D series and the Xcelsior looked like they were designed yesterday and still look brand new these days.

The Xcelsiors look like so unique, it was the star of this goofy photovideobombing incident: Maybe Xcelsior sales are about to see a similar boom - NFI be warned...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that... TTC has big orders.... the Quebec and Montreal I'm sure are large orders... BC Transit has done large orders of Nova's, Translink is potentially getting 100+ Novas. The only large New Flyer orders in Canada right now are Translink, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. It also depends upon what you consider "large". For a 1000 bus operation like Edmonton or Calgary you only need to replace about 50 buses per year if you're running a 18 year life cycle. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppelkupplung Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Don't forget that Nova has a big client pool in the US. MTA alone has ordered over 1000 LFS' since 2009, and I'm not even noting the hundreds of RTS' they had. CTA has ordered over 800, and that's a small fraction of American operators. And these orders were all around 80-100+ per year. Mind you, New Flyer hasn't been no small customer for the MTA... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCTD 2039 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 The VINs for OCTA's 2006 and 2007 New Flyer C40LFRs have not been added to the CPTDB Wiki yet as of right now. I tried to let the editors recognize the VINs and add them onto the wiki through the content changes and additions topic on the forum but no one managed to put them on the articles yet. The builders' plates on these buses are supposedly located on the left side of the bus next to the front window, which prevents me from looking closely at the builder's plates on these buses at most times. The website www.autocheck.com may guarantee these serials listed below as 2007 model New Flyer C40LFR buses only if the first 11 digits of the VINs are included. VIN 5FYC5FP1?6C0????? is OCTA unit 5501, built in September 2006 VINs 5FYC5FP1?7C030312-5FYC5FP1?7C030390 are OCTA units 5502-5580, built between March to July 2007 VIN 5FYC5FB167C031723 is OCTA unit 7529, built in May 2007 VINs 5FYC5FP1?7C032165-5FYC5FP1?7C032259 are OCTA units 5581-5599 and 5601-5674, built from August 2007 to December 2007 VINs 5FYC5FP1?7C032272-5FYC5FP1?7C032300 are OCTA units 7501-7528, built in January 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
